NX Specs, Packaging, and Pricing Thread

Hrm... need to rethink my strategy. Was hoping the NX300h would get better mpg since it's using a 2.5L, but barely any better than the RX450h, plus it has a lot less power.
The advantage with the RX is that it's near the end of its life cycle so discount may bring it down close to the NX300h intial price. Those of you who are looking to buy the NX, are you guys cross-shopping the RX?

That's our dilemma as well, although we're not shopping the hybrids. The cost per mile/kilometer benefit of the turbo 4 running on premium VS the RX's V6 running on regular may be moot as well. That and the power and space differentials. We'd like to downsize a bit but the pricing just may be too enticing on a 15 RX to take the step. Up here RX pricing is starting to get interesting; $2500.00 off with cash purchase, various financing deals, unknown dealer incentives and the NX isn't even in the showroom yet. More to come?

The one hold up is that the RX does not offer the RCTA. We have the BSM with RCTA on our RAV4 and would never buy another car without it.
Just maybe next years RX will offer the BSM with the RCTA?

It looks like the Hybrid is only going to initially be avilable in a single flavor equipped similar to the ES 300h with a price point around $47,500-ish. Based on a eyeball guesstimate that will put the Hyrbid aroud a $4,500 premium to the EXACT same non-Hybrid, turbo version. Which is odd as the ES is not a turbo (more $s) yet the Hybrid premium is only around $2,500 so at this point it is looking more and more like we may be backing away from a NX Hybrid simpy due to the increased premium. I guess we all now know why they are only projecting 10% of the line to go Hybrid. Higher price = lower demand. You would have thought that the Turbo would have been more expensive than the non-turbo in the ES so we were hoping that the prior differential would have been similar but alas, it is not.

C&D Trim Levels Pricing
Lexus has released prices for its upcoming NX compact crossover, and they’re as ambitious as its styling is outspoken. Base MSRP is $35,405 for the NX200t with front-wheel drive; the equivalent AWD model starts at $36,805. The hybrid NX300h is priced from $40,645, while adding AWD takes it up to a cool $42,235. The standard engine is a 235-hp 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbo four-cylinder—the first turbo, ever, in a Lexus—while the hybrid employs a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard with the turbo, while the 194-hp hybrid gets a continuously variable automatic with a “kickdown” feature for passing power.
The NX comes to market in November, and the pricing reflects a high level of electronic content, including a standard 4.2-inch TFT screen in the gauge cluster, a 7.0-inch infotainment screen (activated by a mouselike Remote Touch Interface), and an available wireless charging tray in the console. The standard audio includes HD Radio with Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a cache feature. Although the NX is based on the underpinnings of the RAV4 (which starts at a tame $24,565), Toyota asserts that almost 90 percent of its parts differ. NX pricing starts above the small luxury-crossover leaders, the BMW x1 ($31,850), Mercedes GLA ($32,225), and Audi Q3 ($33,425). Those are the competitors its wheelbase would suggest, although its overall length points to the pricier compact segment of X3, GLK, and Q5 (which Lexus cites as benchmarks). As with the German targets, the base MSRP is just a starting point.
2015 Lexus NX 200t F Sport
Lexus plans no fewer than five NX trim levels: Base, Comfort, Premium, Luxury, and F Sport. Comfort brings a power tilt/telescoping steering column and three-memory driver’s seat, adding $505 on the NX200t and $285 on the hybrid. Premium, including the Comfort content, adds 18-inch wheels, heated/vented front seats, a moonroof, and LED turn signals and DRLs; it tacks on $2890 to the NX200t and $2670 on the Hybrid.
Premium trim is available as a $2045 add-on to the F Sport (which gets its very own 18-inch wheels), but the most basic F Sport starts at $37,505. Adding all-wheel drive to the docket costs $1400. The sharpest NX of the bunch, the F Sport includes some handling tweaks, cosmetic touches, and exclusive seats; it’s available only on the gasoline-fueled NX200t.
Next up would beLuxury, in which $4885 buys all the aforementioned (except for the F Sport treatment—the sportiest NX tops out at Premium), plus wood trim, a heated steering wheel, a power rear hatch, rain-sensing wipers, leather front seats, and a towing package rated at 2000 pounds. The Hybrid won’t tow, but it can be capital-L luxurious for $4505 front-drive or $4665 on the AWD. We’ll save you a bit of math: the NX200t with AWD in Luxury trim looks like a $41,690 deal, including Lexus’s $925 destination fee. Then you enter the realm of stand-alone options, topped by $2140 for navigation, which also adds 10-speaker audio, and $1160 for LED headlamps with automated high beams.

Thanks. Based on this information fully optioned F-Sport (All wheel drive, Premium, Nav, LED) will cost $44250. If I were to go with NX I might go with 19" wheel. With destination the total will be around $46000. I believe that is still cheaper than the main completion (X3 and Q5).
